Mephisto 6800 XL?

Post by Chessbama »

Hello,

I have a pair of Mephisto 6800 XL computers. I was going to try and sell them but cannot find one single ebay listing for one, completed / sold or active. I was wondering if these Computers are super-rare or are they in the category of nobody cares. I'd appreciate any knowledge.

It's one of my favorite computers, with a nice solid style, and excellent design. No idea what it's worth though. I think it's uncommon.

Thanks all for your input. Also getting rid of two Novag Zircon's, a Kasparov executive, Kasparov Turbo Advanced Trainer , a Fidelity Travel Master , Kasparov Travel 2100 and a few others. Will put them on Ebay but somebody hit me up if anybody is interested in buying direct. Don't like paying Ebay and Paypal their cuts if I can avoid it.

When I read the model # in my head, had issues with saying "68,000" lol. Dropping that 0 ruined my ebay search results lol. By the way, love the Majin Vegeta avatar. "Circus Clown!"

I wouldn't consider the Mephisto Mondial XL 68K as rare ...
BUT ,,that Tmaster is somewhat rare assuming it was working

High Defect Rate Regards

I'm afraid to find out, but will brave it and turn it on when I get home later.
